For instance Austrian law accepts such compensation: see H. Koziol, Austria, PETL Damages, no. 81 et seq. The same is true for the USA: G. Schwartz, USA, PETL Damages, no. 25. On the contrary England (W.V.H. Rogers, England, PETL Damages, no. 63), France (S. Galand-Carval, France, PETL Damages, no. 68), Germany (U. Magnus, Germany, PETL Damages, no. 62), Greece (K. Kerameus, Greece, PETL Damages, no. 27), the Netherlands (M.H. Wissink/W. van Boom, The Netherlands, PETL Damages, no. 110) and South Africa (J. Neethling, South Africa, PETL Damages, no. 35) deny compensation in such cases.

Compare the references cited in Art. 10:202 no. 15.
Austrian law disallows such kind of fictitious damage (see H. Koziol, Austria, PETL Damages, no. 50) while the other countries allow it (see the references in U. Magnus, Comparative Report, PETL Damages, no. 71 fn. 129 et seq.).
Partly diminution in (market) value is regarded as the upper limit of compensation if costs of repair exceed this amount: see H. Koziol, Austria, PETL Damages, no. 103; K. Kerameus, Greece, PETL Damages, no. 36; M.H. Wissink/W. van Boom, The Netherlands, PETL Damages, no. 126, also J. Neethling, South Africa, PETL Damages, no. 48; G. Schwartz, USA, PETL Damages, no. 34. Other legal systems do not draw this line strictly: see H. Cousy/A. Vanderspikken, Belgium, PETL Damages, no. 140; U. Magnus, Germany, PETL Damages, no. 81 (allowance up to 130 %).
